At first, they couldn't figure out if it was like that!

What made them even more jaw-dropping was that their general actually began to mess with the mandarin duck score, and even held a group wedding.

The excitement of thousands of people worshipping heaven and earth together made them forget that there was still a war in Shu.

For Li Zicheng to think about them so much, many people are very happy.

However, even if there is Li Zicheng's gag order, it can't be hidden for long.

First of all, the cavalrymen who fled back would tell their families; Subsequently, it was the advance of the imperial court officials and troops to the east, which made the things that were secretly speculated and circulated become public.

All of a sudden, Li Zicheng's department was full of discussions.

"Sure enough, it was the Xingguo Gong who led the soldiers to kill, it was simply a divine soldier descending from heaven, and the whole army in Chengdu was wiped out!"

"I really didn't expect that the Duke of Xingguo would dare to lead his troops across Shu Road, and he didn't wait for the beginning of spring!"

"These can actually be thought of, but do you know, who are the generals of the imperial court officers and soldiers who have been killed now? The four righteous sons under the Eight Kings have three of them! Can you think of it? ”

"Actually, you don't know that the commander of the other court official army is Tian Jianxiu, do you know?"

“……”

It can be said that these news, one by one, shocked them.

Especially Li Dingguo and others, who have now become generals of the imperial court, especially Tian Jianxiu, which has stimulated them even more.

At the same time, they immediately understood why the general encouraged them to get married during this time, and then gathered the family together, wasn't this just to prevent them from going to the imperial court!

They were shaking the matter when suddenly, something happened that surprised them.

When Li Zicheng was inspecting the camp of the fifth camp of the left side of the city outside the city, he suddenly killed He Yilong, and Lin Chengcheng. The crime was that they plotted betrayal and wanted to defect to the court.

This time, Li Zicheng really didn't wronged anyone.

In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, in fact, the five battalions of the left still had the idea of accepting the imperial court's recruitment.

After Yang Zhuoran, the commander of the Ming Dynasty, learned of the intention of Lin Chengcheng, Ma Shouying and others in the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo to be recruited, he personally went to Qianshan and Taihu Mountains to meet the leaders of the Fifth Battalion, Lin Chengcheng, Ma Shouying and others, and persuaded the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo to accept the recruitment of the imperial court.

At that time, Lin Chengcheng's reply was like this: "We all have peerless talents, the court is useless, and the rest are thieves because of famine." If the state is properly handled, how can it be a loyal person? And I heard that Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing returned to sincerity before and after more than ten battalions, serving the country to the death, and doing their best, Gu Yu Du can't care? But there are more than 100,000 of us, where do we put them? And who is the Lord? Where does the salary come from? And with what kind of officials will I be treated? ”

His words, in the final analysis, are that they can indeed accept the imperial court's recruitment, and they can serve the imperial court, and they will not be worse than Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing. However, they need to know exactly whether the court is sincere in recruiting them. If they are sincere, then there must be a plan for arranging them, what positions they will be given, who will be in charge, where the military salary will come from, and so on.

I have to say that these demands they put forward are indeed reasonable. If you are sincere, the answers to these questions must be there.

However, at that time, how could the imperial court have the money to recruit An! Yang Zhuoran ran to see them, but he didn't discuss it with the imperial court first. Therefore, there is no way to answer these questions.

However, since he personally ran to see the fifth battalion of Gezuo, he was naturally prepared. He designated the mountainous area of Huangzhou Prefecture as the place where the five battalions of Ge and Zuo were placed, and they were given new salaries from Qishui, Guangji, and Qizhou.

When the Fifth Battalion heard this, they agreed, and even began to think about how to serve the imperial court in order to prove their worth.

As a result, Yang Zhuoran went back to play the situation, and the ministers of the DPRK and China objected, of course, the most important thing is that there is no money. Those places will not pay for it. The final result was that Yang Zhuoran lost his official position and left his post.

After the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution Zuo learned about this, they were disappointed, and finally gave up the idea of being recruited.

However, Zhang Mingwei came, especially when he launched a public opinion offensive in the Battle of Kaifeng, which finally caused Li Zicheng to flee and Luo Rucai's army to be wiped out.

Subsequently, Zhang Mingwei led the troops to the south and began to fight against Zhang Xianzhong and the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo.

But without waiting for the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution to have any ideas, Zhang Xianzhong, in order to deal with Zhang Mingwei's public opinion offensive, under the suggestion of the military advisor Xu Yixian, proclaimed himself the King of Daxi, and set up six departments and the military governor's mansion, first of all, the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution Left was vigilant.

Although the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution Zuo cooperated with Zhang Xianzhong and fought together, this did not mean that they were willing to be under Zhang Xianzhong. You must know that the five people in the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution are also the most qualified people, why did Zhang Xianzhong ride on their heads.

So, at the instigation of He Jin, they came to Li Zicheng.

Now, they know that Xingguo Gong's subordinates have more Li Dingguo and them, and they have heard more or less that Xingguo Gong's way of doing things is really arranged, and it is by no means perfunctory.

The earliest was Xiao Yuanying, followed by Luo Rucai's department, and then Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates. If there is a problem with recruitment, there will never be any recruitment all the time.

waited until they heard that even Li Laiheng, who escaped from Li Zicheng's side to accept Zhao'an, was named Liaodong Bo after his meritorious service in Liaodong. They were really moved, so they began to plan, thinking of contacting Xingguo Gong's side, and if possible, they didn't mind offering Chongqing as a great gift to accept Zhao'an.

However, Li Zicheng had noticed the two of them for a long time and was secretly spying on them. As a result, as soon as Lin Yangsheng and the others were moved, they were immediately arrested by Li Zicheng.

Killing people to Liwei, in addition to He Yilong and Lin Chengcheng, including the henchmen of the two of them, killed more than 1,000 people in total.

The corpse was pushed into the Yangtze River, and the head was hung at the head of Chongqing, densely packed, and they were all familiar faces, which was really shocking. It can be said that on that day, the Yangtze River outside Chongqing was dyed red.

Li Zicheng's previous mess with the mandarin duck spectrum immediately faded from joy.

Those who originally looked down on each other and wanted to find a good daughter-in-law immediately changed their minds, even if it was a dominatrix. Because they were afraid that if they refused, they would be suspected by Li Zicheng that they had the intention of recruiting peace to the imperial court.

The remaining three leaders of the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo, under the presence of He Jin, appeased the ordinary soldiers, and also persuaded Ma Shouying and Liu Xiyao to be loyal to Li Zicheng and become Li Zicheng's real subordinates.

Regarding all this that happened in Chongqing, Li Guo, who was locked up, naturally knew about it. In this regard, he only sighed, and the whole person became more silent. Even if Li Zicheng went to see him, he basically didn't speak.

Subsequently, Li Zicheng personally went to the army, went to fight with the imperial court officials and troops coming to the east, and even dealt with Tian Jianxiu with heavy troops along the way, he must catch this thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he once trusted the traitor so much.

However, what he didn't expect was that these court officials and soldiers were not at war with him. When they had done it, they retreated. When they stopped fighting, they went east again. I wanted to ambush them, but I found that they were extremely cautious, not seeking merit, but seeking merit.

This kind of play made Li Zicheng unable to help them for a while. In the end, the battle situation on the side of Shu was stalemate.

Li Zicheng himself, so he lost the front line to Liu Zongmin and Song Xiance, went back to Chongqing, and began to rectify the rear with the help of Niu Jinxing.

As for Zhang Mingwei, he was naturally also based in Chengdu, and unceremoniously dealt with those who wanted to take advantage of the imperial court in the past, and confiscated all the grain fields and shops that should be taxed in the name of the King of Shu. According to previous experience, the reorganization of prisoners, etc., is also busy enough.

………………

The time soon came to the middle of March of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and Huang Taiji, who was far away in Liaodong, left Shengjing and personally led some high-ranking leaders in Jianyu to Jinzhou on the sharp corner of the Liaodong Peninsula.

It can be seen that his mood is still good, and it seems that the wound that was invaded by the Ming army in Liaodong has been scarred, and he has forgotten it without pain.

But it's true, because there is good news after all.

Ying Erdai did not live up to his expectations, and under Hong Chengchou's advice, he really brought back the shortage of grain and grass needed for the winter in Liaodong from North Korea, and did not let a big famine occur in Liaodong.

However, the people below also know that this is still a "loss" of the Ming army's ravages in the hinterland of Liaodong, which made the Qing Dynasty seriously reduce its personnel, and there are many fewer mouths to consume food. Otherwise, even if the Ying Ordai brought back enough grain from Korea, it would not be enough to support the entire Liaodong.

Because although North Korea is mainly agricultural, it is actually the kind that is so poor that it can be so poor, how much oil and water can it have? Far from being comparable to the richness of Kannai!

In addition, in winter, the commander of the Ningjin front, Jierharang, took advantage of the ice in many parts of the Bohai Sea to send troops to attack Juehua Island.

Although the Ming army on the island had withdrawn to Shanhaiguan before the arrival of winter, it was good news that Juehua Island was captured by the Qing Dynasty, which left the Ming sailors with less place to rest and recuperate.

Of course, the biggest good news is that Yingordai really brought back the sailor from North Korea. There were 300 large warships, and there were 600 small warships and transports. Coupled with the warships brought back by Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and others from the Denglai Naval Division before, all of them totaled the scale of thousands of warships.

Today, these warships are all assembled in Golden State Bay. Huang Taiji left Shengjing, just to come to Jinzhou to inspect this Great Clear Water Division!

Since then, there has been one more branch of the Qing army. At once, there were thousands of sailors on the scale of warships, how could Huang Taiji's mood be bad!

With this naval division, it can not only defend and inspect the coast of Liaodong, but also prevent the occurrence of things that have been raided by the Ming army before. Moreover, it can also pose a threat to the Ming Kingdom by sea.

In short, today's Huang Taiji is full of expectations for the future.
